A missed chance

My predecessor reviewed the recently come out recording Although fuzzy, but also a bit too critical.
He describes the booklet as "not happy". If he had, what it says, but reflected that he ought to be taken aback about choosing Netrebko for Giovanna. The Frezzolini is namely described as extremely delicate and fragile soprano, with her too-thick sticky, intonation insecure and not very flexible, let alone coloratura capable impasto which Netrebko may not be far enough away from the creatrice this game. It reaches not for my taste the quality of Caballé in any way and also those Ricciarellis. That the Lord said those favorite version is with Tebaldi, I can not really understand also. I've heard this now. When Tebaldi is indeed a persistent once ominously expressed predicate the angel voice. Who is actually come up with this nonsense? The Tebaldi has lower and middle register in her youthful bloom secure a decent (not exceptional in my opinion), but strong homespun tone. The height was with her since early times by no means angelic such as at Caballé, but tended to sour and pressed sharpness that in mature age still increased. Besides the sound quality is so miserable in this recording that really engages only a very hard-core fan to this version.
Back to most recent Netrebko recording: their partners leave for my ear something to be desired:
Meli, a new Bergonzi: in such a madness one must first come ... Domingo - it's not surprising at his age - a mere shadow of himself with a weary, ill-supported and vibrato overloaded voice.
The plus of the receptacle (1 star): the crispness of the orchestral sound. You can hear more instruments than that for the previous few shots. The baton is pretty good, but not consistently underwhelming in terms of the tempos. Carignani has already accomplished a great deal better. Very annoying also that today with all the alleged understanding of faithfulness still cuts like old times. The opera is anyway already so short (2h)! Well a tribute to vocal-technical limitations of the singer (?) Or on the financially impacting efficiency?
You buy the recording probably only because there are so few alternatives on the market and you want to have available as Opernnarr another, younger version the shelf.
